110v PC was plugged in 220v

My friend was accidentally plugged his 110v CPU into a 220v . There's no sound or blown was heard, a smoke was just appeared.

He bought the desktop from US and he didn't aware of the volts change over switch in the back.

I just want to know the possible hardware which will help to reboot the system again in 220 V.

Any help in this regard is really very helpful.

Thanks

Kumar

    What is the computer model?

    If it's a desktop, you would at the minimum, need to replace the power supply and keep your fingers crossed that nothing else is fried.

    The Vostro 200 Slim use a TFX power supply with either a 24-pin, or 20+4-pin main motherboard power connector, similar to the two units shown HERE

    You should be able to buy a replacement from Dell, or from a computer store.
